My husband always gets the chicken parmigiana and I always get the lobster ravioli. Both dishes are delicious. We have tried other dishes and I must say everything is delicious.

The food and atmosphere was incredible. However, the waiter seemed like he wanted to rush us and he made multiple errors along the way. He took drink orders but really didn't pay attention as to who had ordered what drink when he brought the drinks. We ordered escargot as an appetizer and he forgot it so it was brought out after our salads after we actually asked if he had forgotten it since our salads arrived first. He had and he hadn't brought bread and butter to the table until we asked. Again, he seemed in a hurry and continuously reached over everyone when passing out food, drinks, etc. He apologized each time but he reached over someone everytime. I think in a nice restaurant the waiter should take the time to take the extra step as to not reach over people continuously. It is disruptive and interrupted conversations. Again, the night was great, the food was great but the waiter could have done a better job.

I had been wanting to try John Mineo’s for some time, and am so glad that I finally did. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the lunch menu is a great deal. The seafood pasta was out of this world, and the chocolate peanut butter pie was heavenly. My server Rick was just wonderful, and made certain that my experience was perfect. It has to be the most authentic Italian restaurant in St. Louis. I look forward to returning.

For a special occasion, you can't beat John Mineo's. Our server, Ricky, greeted us at the door and took us to our seats. A lovely table with a great view of the dining room, tastefully decorated. It's an old school place with tableside finshing of the dishes. But it's not stuffy! Classic Italian with modern touches. Highly recommended.
